Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Mortimer´s Gold The doctor, his stethoscope in his ears, listened to the action of my heart. He was not an army doctor, but an elderly physician with some professional and personal knowledge of myself which dated back to childhood. That is to say, he knew me well. So it was but natural that he should sound me, a convalescent, both for his own satisfaction and for mine. The medical board would see me no more, - indeed, I was discharged from the Army, and certified as having a "perfect physique." In spite of such a flattering official report I knew that Dr. Bernard´s opinion would be more sympathetic. He was a friend of the family. I ought rather to say he had been a friend of the family, for the whole family of the Mortimers was dead - excepting me, Richard - which sad fact made me all the more anxious to remain alive. Having survived all the other Mortimers I came back from Europe determined to keep on surviving them. But my heart was affected. I had been home four weeks, and the doctor examined me every week.
